We all know that diabetes is a disease that requires strict control of blood sugar. The more influence a certain diet has on blood sugar, the less suitable it is for sugar friends; on the contrary, those who have little effect on blood sugar can eat with confidence. So, can sugar friends eat apples? Today we will take a look at this issue.

        To determine the effect of food on blood sugar, mainly depends on three indicators of food: glycemic index, sugar content and blood sugar load. So what about Apple’s data?

        Learn about Apple's ability to rise sugar: its glycemic index GI is 36, sugar content is about 12%, and sugar load GL is about 4.4, which means that apples are low GI foods and low GL foods. From these three data, apples have less effect on blood sugar, so diabetics can eat apples. But still the old saying, sugar friends can eat anything, nothing can not eat. Once any food is eaten too much, the sugar-reducing food will turn into sugar, so sugar users need to pay attention to the amount of apples.
